Avoid Costly Surprises — Due Diligence Before You Commit
Acquiring a business, buying property, or entering a joint venture in Prilep or the Pelagonia Region without proper due diligence is one of the costliest mistakes a foreign investor can make. Hidden liabilities, undisclosed disputes, and regulatory exposure surface after closing — when it is too late to renegotiate.
Why Due Diligence Matters in Prilep
Prilep is an active market for foreign acquisitions, real estate purchases, and partnerships. The legal and regulatory environment is workable, but it is different from what foreign investors are used to. Local quirks — cadastre records, ownership chains, employment exposure, tax legacy — need to be checked by someone who knows where to look.
What We Investigate
- Corporate — ownership structure, share register, board minutes, governance, capacity to transact

Red Flags We See Most Often
Undisclosed shareholder agreements that block transfers. Cadastre records that do not match the actual occupier. Tax positions that look fine on paper but rely on aggressive interpretations. Employment contracts that have not been updated in a decade. These are catchable — if you look.
